With equal Foot impartial Death does dareTo knock at every Gate, nor will he fpareThe wretched Cottage, or the Palace rare. The Earth does equally afford to all The Dead a Place of Reft ; both Great and Small Her gentle Bofom opens to receive, Nor to a Princes Bones refpeâ: does give ; Charon neer could be bribed with fhining Ore, To fet Prometheus on the living Shore. Proud Tantalus, and all his mighty Race, Tho Kings, he there confines in that fad Place ; Whether we wifh for him or no, hes near, And ready to affift the Poor ; does hear Their Cries, and gladly comes to fet them free From Want, and waft them to Felicity. A View of Human Life 201. Toy de qui la tefte fe couvre,De ce brillant Metail qui fait fuiwe les Rois ;Ne croy pas que la Mort texempte de fes frappe aujjifort à la porte du Louvre,Qua celle du moindre Bourgeois. Monarch, whofe facrëd Head does lhineWith the bright Metal we adore,Which Kings are fervd and courted for; Think not thy Wealth, or Race divine, Exempts thee from the common Fate ; Death knocks as boldly at the Palace Gate; As at the humble Cottage of the Poor.
